Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to systems and methods for enterprise data management and more particularly, for providing fail over capability from "n" primary computer network servers to one secondary server.
- Networked client/server computer systems are becoming increasingly more common as the "Information Revolution" occurring throughout the world progresses.
- one or more servers run a set of services which are accessible via a network to one or more client applications running on client systems.
- Such services may include database management, Network Information Services (NIS), and Network File System (NFS) programs.
- NIS Network Information Services
- NFS Network File System
- the present invention is a system and method for "n" primary servers to fail over to "1" secondary server.
- "Fail over” is a phrase for when a primary computer relinquishes control of a network to a back-up computer.
- the system includes a set of primary servers and a secondary server connected by a set of networks.
- the set of primary servers provide services to a plurality of client applications over a public network.
- One secondary server is provided as a back-up for the set of primary servers.
- Both the set of primary servers and the secondary server are assigned a common node name by which services running on the servers and client applications accessing the public network address the servers.
- Each server also has a unique node name by which the other servers connected to it over a private network may monitor the status of each other.
- the secondary server Upon detecting a primary server failure, the secondary server takes control of the public network. Due to the common node name, the secondary server can take control of several primary servers servicing different public networks.
- the method of the present invention first assigns a common internal node name to each of a set of primary servers and a secondary server. Next, a unique private network node name is assigned to each of the set of primary servers and to the secondary server. If a primary server's failure is detected over a private network by monitoring the status of its unique private network node, then primary services on the primary server are shutdown. Afterwards, a duplicate set of primary services are activated on the secondary server.

- the function of each data field 702 through 712 is described in detail below.
- the primary and secondary services 502 preferably comprise program instructions for providing services to client applications on the public network #1 114.
- Such services may include database services, network file system (NFS) services, network information services (NIS), file system services, including various daemon processes, well known by persons of ordinary skill in the art.
- the host file module 504 preferably comprises program instructions for associating each primary server 102, 118, 204,302, 304 and corresponding secondary server 104, 202, 302, 304 with: the common node name 602 as seen on the public networks 114, 116, 206 and by each primary server's primary and secondary services 502; and the unique node name 604 as seen on the private network 112.
- the P1 102 may have a common node name 602 by which the services 502 and the client applications refer to the P1 102, and the P1 102 may have a unique node name 604 that identifies the P1 102 on the private network 112.
- the P1 102 and the secondary server 104 may be assigned the common node name 602 "abe.”
- the P1 102 may be assigned the unique node name 604 "alpha" and the secondary server 104 may be assigned the unique node name 604 "beta.”
- Any services 502 accessible via the public network #1 114 or client applications accessing either the P1 102 or the secondary server 104 over the public network #1 114 identify either server 102, 104 by the common node name 602 of "abe.”
- the P1 102 contacts the secondary server 104 over the private network 112
- the P1 102 identifies the secondary server 104 by the unique node name 604 of "beta.”
- the secondary server 104 contacts the P1 102 over the private network 112
- the secondary server 104 identifies the P1 102 by the unique node name 604 of "alpha.”
- the device translation directory 506 preferably comprises program instructions (i.e. "softlinks") for associating an alias with a real name for each device connected to the storage buses 108, 110, 122, 124, 210, 212, 214, 216, 306, 310, 308, 312.
- a primary server such as the P1 102
- a secondary server such as the secondary server 104
- the services 502 still refer to a shared device's (such as the network #1 storage 106) on either storage bus (such as either the storage bus 108 or the secondary server storage bus 110) by the shared device's "alias" (such as the network #1 storage alias).
- the device translation directory 506 accesses the device translation directory memory map 700 to look up the shared device's "real name" so that the shared device may be uniquely addressed.
- the device translation directory 506 accesses the network #1 storage real name 704 from the device translation directory memory map 700 before actually sending a command or data to the network #1 storage 106.
- the service registration module 508 preferably comprises program instructions for preventing services 502 from blindly starting or shutting down daemon processes that are shared by other services 502 currently operating on the same server. As a new service 502 is attempting to "start" on a server, the new service's 502 daemon processes are registered with that server's service registration module 508. If the service registration module 508 determines that two daemon processes are registered with the same name on the same server, the duplicate daemon process is prevented from starting.
- service "A's” start script will register both the service “A” and the daemon “1” process with the secondary server 104's service registration module 508. Since no other registrations of daemon "1" process currently exist within the service registration module 508, daemon "1" process will be permitted to start.
- service “A” will be stopped on the secondary server 104.
- the stop script will look for and remove its own registration from the secondary server's 104 service registration module 508. If only that one instance of daemon "1" process was registered with the secondary server's 104 service registration module 508, then the stop script will also remove the daemon "1" processes on the secondary server 104.
- the service locking module 510 preferably comprises program instructions for providing a service with exclusive access to a resource (such as a file, daemon process or device).
- a "lock” is preferably comprised of a process ID, identifying a service or process that currently holds the lock, plus a time-stamp, indicating when the lock will expire. For instance, if service “A” and service “B” begin to start the same daemon "1”process, and only one copy of the daemon "1”process is permitted, then both services will attempt to obtain a lock on the daemon "1”process. If service “A” is first to obtain the lock, then service “A” starts the daemon "1” process before releasing the lock.
- Service “B” now gets the lock, but determines that the daemon "1" process has already been started. As a result, service “B” releases the lock without starting another daemon "1" process. Locks are also inheritable, for those instances where an unbroken chain of control is required. A service or process that currently holds the lock is able to pass forward the lock to another service or process.
- the high availability module 512 preferably comprises program instructions for transmitting "heartbeats" between a primary server (such as the P1 102) and a secondary server (such as the secondary server 104) and for either "normally” or “automatically” “failing-over” services from one server to another.
- a "heartbeat” is defined as a status message which contains information on a server's ability to perform its own public network 116 or housekeeping tasks as well as its ability to assume the public network 116 or housekeeping tasks of another server.
- the heartbeats are preferably transmitted in both directions between the primary and secondary servers over the private network 112.
- "Normal” fail overs typically occur when preventative maintenance is to be performed on a primary server.
- "Automatic” fail overs typically occur when a primary server has experienced a serious failure or error condition.
- a primary server to be shut-down executes a stop script for each service that the primary server is currently supporting.
- Each service's stop script deletes its own entries from the primary server's service registration module 508 as it stops.
- the secondary server waits for a predetermined time period for the failed primary server to execute a stop script for each of the primary server's services. If the secondary server determines (via the heartbeats) that this has not occurred, the secondary server forces a halt to the primary server's services and deletes from the failed primary server's service registration module 508 all of the services currently registered there.
- the secondary server also causes power to be removed from the primary server.
- the secondary server high availability module 512 initiates a start script for each service to be failed-over to the secondary server. After each service is started the secondary server takes control over the public network.
- the high availability module 512 of a secondary server also monitors its own status to determine if the secondary server has the excess capability to assume the public network operations of a failed primary server.
- the high availability module 512 is partially based upon an "AXXiON-HA" fail over software, (manufactured by OpenVision TECHNOLOGIES, Inc., headquarters in Pleasanton, Calif.).
- step 800 a flowchart illustrating a preferred method for setting up a fail over capability between two or more primary computer network servers and one secondary server is shown.
- the preferred method starts in step 800 where an integer number "n" primary servers are connected to at least one secondary server, such as shown in FIG. 2 for example.
- each server is assigned a common node name 602 by the host file module 504.
- step 804 a unique node name 604 is assigned to each server by the host file module 504.
- step 806 the device translation directory 506 is created.
- step 808 the service registration module 508 renames any duplicate file or database on a primary server that may co-exist on a secondary server after "fail over.”
- each server activates its high availability module 512 to begin private network 112 status monitoring.
- the service locking module 510 is activated to prevent services from activating multiple instances of the same resource or process on the secondary server.
- step 814 all services register their daemon processes with the service registration module 508 of the server on which the daemon processes will operate on.
- step 816 the primary and secondary services 502 are brought on-line to begin providing services to the public network. After step 816, the preferred method for setting up a fail over capability ends.
- step 900 a secondary server's high availability module 512 monitors the status of a primary server over the private network 112. If in step 902, the secondary server detects an unplanned primary server failure, the method proceeds to step 906, else the method proceeds to step 904. If in step 904, the secondary server detects a commanded primary server fail over, the method proceeds to step 906, else the method returns to step 900.
- the primary server activates a stop script for each service 502 currently active on the primary server.
- the secondary server after a predetermined time-out, forces the services 502 on the primary server to shut-down.
- the secondary server's service registration module 508 registers each service 502 to be activated on the secondary server. If in step 912, the service registration module 508 detects a duplicate service name registered on the secondary server, the method proceeds to step 914, else the preferred method proceeds to step 916.
- the service registration module 508 prevents the duplicate service 502 from starting, afterwhich the preferred method ends.
- the service registration module 508 permits the service 502 to start on the secondary server, afterwhich the preferred method ends.
- step 1000 a flowchart illustrating a preferred method for restoring a service from a secondary server to a primary server is shown.
- the preferred method starts in step 1000, where in step 1000, if the secondary server is commanded to fail over services to the primary server (such as after the primary server has undergone routine maintenance), the method proceeds to step 1002, else the method returns to step 1000.
- the secondary server activates a stop script for each service 502 currently active on the secondary server.
- step 1006 the primary server's service registration module 508 registers each service 502 to be activated on the primary server. If in step 1008, the service registration module 508 detects a duplicate service name registered on the primary server, the method proceeds to step 1010, else the preferred method proceeds to step 1012.
- step 1010 the service registration module 508 prevents the duplicate service 502 from starting, after which the preferred method ends.
- the service registration module 508 permits the service 502 to start on the primary server, after which the preferred method ends.
